Beiyang 1917

Xu Shuzheng felt that he was an idealist, but he became close friends with Wang Geng, an opportunist in his bones. In just one year, in front of Wang Geng's kind smile and deep eyes, everything was his own plan. Seems to be getting pretty small.

The bureaucratic system will not take on a new look just because of the appearance of a great man. The Yongzheng Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the later Daoguang Emperor di du were simple and diligent emperors. cannot be completely reversed.

A little earlier, the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty failed to stop the corrupt behavior of officials big and small with cruel skinning and weeding. Xu Shuzheng also wondered how Wang Geng's intelligence office worked. The organization is so mysterious that almost no one can see the whole picture except Wang Geng.

The telecommunications and confidentiality room of the Nanyuan Command is the brain of the entire staff headquarters. Every translator, dispatcher, and confidentiality officer in it is personally selected by Wang Geng. Whether it is the front line or the rear, every brigade has Your own du li radio wavelength call sign and code book, the key is changed from time to time, and the xing will never be used again.

When the world entered 1918, the idea Wang Geng instilled in the participating troops had changed to "all for the motherland!" He never needed blind obedience and personality worship. Commander-in-Chief and Army General Wang Geng has become the idol of young people all over China.

In the international community, Ri himself calls him the king of China, while the Americans, British and French call him gun. Although he has never personally used this cannon, in battles at the division level, the firepower and ground-air capabilities of the Chinese participating troops , Infantry coordination has been called the first army in Asia.

As for the air force of the participating army created by Wang Geng, it seems to have become the air force in the world second only to Britain, France and Germany. The number of front-line French aircraft accepted by the U.S. Air Force at this moment is not as many as Wang Geng's participating army!

The hurricane of armored assaults, overwhelming aerial bombardment, and precise barrage coverage and advancement have become the most distinctive features of the participating troops. Of course, hundreds of divisions and millions of people fought like the trench warfare on the Eastern and Western Fronts of the European War The brutal battles the fighting army has yet to encounter.

In Wang Geng's view, it is far more efficient to defend a front line than to attack and defeat the enemy. If possible, the air force and artillery of the Chinese participating army will become the iconic features of this force!Before finally bumping into the German and Austrian troops, Wang Geng did not think that the Chinese participating troops would encounter such inefficient entanglements as trench warfare.

In the battles between the Soviet Red Army and the White Guards in the previous life, it was not uncommon to line up in dense formations and shout Ulla's crowd tactics. Trench warfare, without that skill. Teams that can fight bloody battles to the end often decide the outcome of the battle with a single charge.

As for the Cossack cavalry, no matter whether they are red or white, they cannot pose a real threat to Wang Geng's mechanized troops. Xu Shuzheng also asked Wang Geng, what is the biggest challenge facing the Chinese participating troops in the future?

Wang Geng's answer was "Guerrillas!" The regular army cannot win the people's war in the short term. If the army participating in the war will face huge adjustments in the west in the future, it will be caught in the people's war among the local Russian people, and will be trapped in endless wars. Endless guerrilla raids and harassment.

"Then how should we deal with it?" At that time, Xu Shuzheng continued to ask for advice without shame, but Wang Geng's answer was even simpler, "Let the local people live a good life, and no one will make life difficult for the good life. At that time, free Russia fighters will organize to deal with the guerrillas who destroy their good life!"

Xu Shuzheng can't help but be convinced. The return of territory with Japan and the formation of a strategic alliance between the two sides have not yet been settled. The war supervisor is already considering the biggest challenges China will face after sending troops to the Urals and how to deal with them. Xu Shuzheng I don't believe in evildoers, but Wang Geng must be evildoers, and planning for a rainy day is always farther than others think!

As for the corruption and degeneration of the cadres, Wang Geng directly threw this issue to Xu Shuzheng and the Constitution Drafting Committee under his leadership. of.

Therefore, almost all the brigade-level officers participating in the war are young people in their 30s. During the rising period of life and career, these young generals who have received education from Baoding Military Academy or Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy lead the singing of "Three Three-Nine Items of Discipline" every day. Attention" is enough, don't worry about them being corrupt and taking bribes, the surrounding environment does not give them such opportunities!Their pursuit of career also makes them know how to weigh the pros and cons!

Leaving the participating army means that there will be no chance to make contributions to the country, the nation, and individuals in this most popular group in China. The food and salary of the participating army makes the income of an ordinary soldier enough for a family of five to live a decent life. To live, to join the army and serve as a soldier has become the fashion and atmosphere of this ancient and young country.

Of course, instead of lowering the recruiting standards for the participating army, it has been increasing. Given that the future direction of the participating army is to use troops from the north and west, the recruitment scale south of the Yangtze River is much smaller than that north of the Yangtze River. At the same time, due to the mechanization of the participating army With the continuous improvement of the level, the pilots and ground mechanics of the driving force and the air force have become the most skilled, best paid and most popular arms in the participating army, so the requirements for the source of troops are also rising.

From the perspective of ethnicity and language, there are more and more recruits from Mongolian, Korean, Russian and other multi-ethnic groups. In addition to meeting the standards of physical health, language and education have gradually become the reference standards for recruiting soldiers.

"Supervisor, do we really want to join hands with Little Japan to go to the west? Could Japan agree to return Taiwan to us so easily?" Zhang Zuolin, the chief of staff of the participating army, was the commander-in-chief who admired him from the bottom of his heart, and Lao Zhang was the commander-in-chief. A person who loves talents is also an ambitious guy who can employ others, but his so-called family fortune in Fengtian is completely different from Wang Geng's ability to toss in China and Siberia.

Looking at it now, if we hadn’t voted for Zhong Yang and followed Nanyuan back then, there would be no place to cry right now. Even Japan, which was supposed to be used as foreign aid and support, would have been taken care of by our supervisor, without firing a single shot. It is necessary to return the South Manchuria Railway, Guandong Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao and even Taiwan to China. How much ability can this be done?How big a face has this done for the country and the nation?Not to mention, Lao Zhang has been following the supervision all his life!

"Western Siberia is also a last resort for Japan. It is better than anything else if we can hold the current 211 million square kilometers in our hands. As for marching westward, it is inevitable, except for the Allied Powers. In addition to the fact that the Eastern Front can play a substantial role in reducing Germany's pressure on the French battlefield on the Western Front, if we want to maintain the territory recovered from the North, we must block the old men in the West!"

Wang Geng was not so much answering his chief of staff as he was explaining the fundamental reason why he should form an alliance with Japan to the Prime Minister and the Acting President.

"Wang Geng, although the momentum of our China, especially the north, has been very good this year, our national strength is still weak after all, and the taxes in the south cannot be collected. If we really want to fight a big battle on the scale of the European War on the Western Front, I'm afraid At that time, the economy and finances that have just started to improve will be dragged down, and it will not be easy to form an army to join the war, so will it all be consumed on the Russian Eastern Front?"
